Fielding managing editor-The Signpost By Angela Wadman news editor-The Signpost Two Weber State University students and their accused accomplice, a University of Utah student, all plead guilty to possession or use of a financial transaction card without the consent of the owner on Thursday. Lance Parks, Mike Sattler, members of the ice hockey club and Robert A. Kash, a former WSU student now attending the U of U, appeared before Judge Parley R. Baldwin in Second District Court for their prelimi nary hearing in this case. All three waived their preliminary hearings, and instead plead guilty to a third degree felony. According to Richard Palmerly of the Weber County Attorney 's office , Parks , Sattler and Kash all plead guilty in exchange for the Weber County Attorney's office to not file additional charges in the case. The third degree felony charge stems from an incident in May when Kash and Parks took the dayplanner of a Utah Highway Patrol trooper from a desk in the Lind Lecture Hall off a desk as they wereJeaving the classroom. The two then found Sattler, who had a vehicle and proceeded to go shopping at the Newgate Mall in Ogden and at a mall in Salt Lake City with a credit card they found in the dayplanner. In addition to not filing additional charges, the county attorney made a sentencing recommendation to Judge Baldwin that the three be placed on probation and the charges reduced one level to a Class A misdemeanor following their successful completion of probation.
